Product Energy Efficiency |
|
Dell maintains ongoing dedication to designing technologies with both greater efficiency and enhanced performance. Our commitment to developing energy-saving products such as the 9G line of servers and OptiPlex desktops are examples of Dell’s leadership and innovation.
 Current Dell Latitude laptops consume up to 70% less energy on average than the previous generation OptiPlex GX620*.The energy saved results in a reduction of pollution to the environment. In addition, every 1000 units of Latitude laptops installed instead of the Opti GX620 helps reduce CO2 omission by approximately 1 million lbs*. Dell Latitude laptops are designed with the environment in mind.
- Dell Latitude laptops meet or exceed the worldwide mutually recognized Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star standard. Dell has taken the extra step of reducing the amount of time before entering low-power mode to help save more energy, from the 30 minutes required by EPA for Energy Star compliance, to 15 minutes.
- Dell Latitude laptops’ external power supplies are designed to meet the new Energy Star program requirements.
- Dell Latitude Quickset software has an easy-to-use Power Management wizard, assisting user to control and optimize laptop's power usage. The user can control settings that reduce power to system components or to the computer itself when not in use.

 The New Dell Latitudes |
 | | Dell – Energy Smart Innovation and Practice |
|
Dell recognizes the role that product design plays in our global responsibility toward climate stewardship. We are focused on implementing features that reduce the energy required to operate our products, as well as educating customers about the importance of using these features. Dell’s pioneering direct business model optimizes manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, resulting in lower cost-of-ownership through good environmental practices. Dell offers many products that meet or exceed the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for Energy Star® qualification, and is a leader in the EPA’s Million Monitor Drive, installing a default 20 minute sleep-state power management feature for monitors on over 60,000 systems, with an estimated global energy savings of 5,551,180 kWh/yr since 2001 – enough energy to power the electricity in over 4000 American homes for a year. It is Dell’s company policy that all internal systems are operated with this feature in place. "As an Energy Star partner, Dell has significantly advanced the area of computer energy efficiency and heightened awareness of the importance of Energy Star. By participating in Energy Star, Dell is showing businesses worldwide that protecting the environment is also good for the bottom line." Kathleen Hogan, Director, USEPA Climate Protection Partnerships Division Dell promotes environmentally-focused educational programs within the public and private sectors, and partners with government, industry and citizen-based organizations to find ways to continue to enhance product efficiency and environmental performance. In 2003 Dell launched the Energy Management Solutions Center online to educate consumers on efficiency in PC usage, and our Power Calculators help customers optimize energy and thermal efficiencies, and this year we became a founding sponsor of the pioneering Green Grid, an organization seeking to lower the overall consumption of power in datacenters around the globe. |
